We're seeing empires across the board vying for power now that the fascist US has abandoned its former soft power strategy. There is trouble brewing on so many fronts in this multipolar world, which means more chances for one of the bigger nations to enter a devastating war. It's not just 2 powers fighting for dominance, but dozens of others looking to fight, with about a third of them having nukes.

I'd disagree. The world powers are more at risk of direct conflict than the founding empires hoped. Nationalism, militarism, and capitalism induced pain make major wars that fuck shit up more likely.

That rhetoric has always pissed me off for the same reasons as Americans not understanding why fascism took Europe in the 30s. Nowhere is special and nobody should think "it won't happen here."

The US is impossible to invade. Trump dying is the only way out, no elections or help from outside. We either wait this shit out by staying alive, or risk dying if you want to do something to improve things. It's why Democratic politicians aren't putting up a meaningful fight; they're scared. They know the law is only serves him now.

y'all Brits probably need it rn. Labour is beyond fucked next election, and unless the left builds something meaningfully distinct from their rot, you'll continue falling rightwards like us Americans did. The only saving grace will be that it probably won't be as dramatic.

Tis a shame they'll blame Iran rather than the instigators of the attacks

The immediate need is to not allow these weak willed genocide enablers anywhere near power again. We need the position of those connected to this administration to be in pile of pig manure, so that way we get people who aren't absolute fucking cowards doing less than the bare minimum to maintain their own system.

People are dying right now that Biden's administration could've saved, but because the cause long precedes the effect, we need to be looking farther ahead. Weak liberals will be complicit at best, and monsters at worst, so we need to work every day until the next somewhat fair election to make their brand weak.

When the fascists begin to bleed themselves dry, the left must lead the charge, not the money loving liberals. If we don't lay that groundwork before most can envision the fight, we'll have feudalists ushering in a "return to normalcy" with broad support from the public.

Once again, people believe that genes are the animal. Twin studies have consistently shown that despite substantial similarities, nature favors difference between clones. If they expect the animals to be identical and never pay attention to the differences, then they will continue to ignore that the code is designed to be flexible.

He will be consistent in saying Muslims are inferior.

unless it's the guy who has made the movement reliant on him, you're wasting your time. you'd

be better off with the wealthy elites who hold the most responsibility for this mess; and I'm not only talking about those who supported Trump.

When the night of long knives happens against the rebellious Republican senators, judges, or billionaires that try to be big men, then people will know why I insist that Trump is different. Until his heart stops beating, things will only continue to get worse for everyone.

There were actual Jewish supporters of Hitler back in the day

"Judeo fascism" is how I heard one academic describe it.


there are people here who believe the english language doesn't only deserve zero respect, it deserves active disrespect. I personally use proper punctuation and grammar when trying to be authoritative, but i also think getting upset about people not following arbitrary formalities is pointless in this context. no capital is involved; no laws either. so long as i am understood, who fucking cares?

if that's not an energy you can get comfortable with, then i really doubt this'll be the only problem you have with lemmy's culture

Like other successful fascists, his skill is having his finger on the pulse of his supportive factions. The capitalists are less to him important than the rabid foot soldiers, but he still doesn't want them to see him as weak.

Nah, this isn't uncharacteristic for neoliberalism. Siding with fascists for imperialist reasons is the neolib way, and the Brits traditionally use a less restrained hand when censoring speech.

Even in the US, with our near free speech absolution, neolibs were supportive as cops cracked down hard on peaceful civil disobedience. If that's what American liberals were willing to do when bought by Israeli lobbyists, this makes perfect sense for the British version of the Democratic party. They'll be replaced by the proper fascists come next election anyhow.

Like i said, fascist level view of media you got there, and judging by your inability to respond to with anything but pregenerated strawmen, a fascist level rhetorical strategy.

edit: Maybe you should write the girlboss Mein Kampf with your skills 🤔

That's right! You have the reading comprehension of a Trump supporter; expecting queer media to be morally clear cut and simple. You'd rather the writers have done nothing subversive with an IP originally created to promote consumerism; instead wanting some cookie-cutter corporate product that's easy to hate. How dare the creators take such a unique opportunity. How dare they do their best with what they have. They shouldn't have tried.

Art will not spark a revolution or overthrow an empire. It can add or subtract fuel, but there is no substitute for action. I'll enjoy a show that says pacifism is for chumps and empire building is bad, not because it's righteous, but because gay girls are fun.

I'm shedding tears that there's state sponsored monarchy that still have their heads attached to their bodies
